What is Epic Mix Racing?
This season, EpicMix is re-imagining the race experience at our mountains. At 6 of our resorts, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breck, Keystone, Heavenly and Northstar, you’ll have the opportunity to race against yourself, your friends, and even four time overall World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Lindsey Vonn.

How do i race against Lindsey Vonn's time?
Lindsey Vonn will set the pace for all of EpicMix Racing and we will have race pros from each of our resorts race against Lindsey to get their own “seconds behind Lindsey.” Then, each day at each of our resorts, one of our race pros will race each EpicMix Racing course and we adjust their time to get to Lindsey’s time for the course.

Who can race?
Everyone from beginner to expert is welcome on the EpicMix Race Courses at 6 of our mountains: Vail, Beaver Creek, Breck, Keystone, Heavenly, and Northstar.

How does the scoring work for EpicMix Racing?
Every time you race we record your actual time. We adjust the time based upon your gender, age and discipline (skier, snowboarder, telemark, adaptive). We then compare that time to the time Lindsey Vonn would have had on the course that day and each racer gets a “seconds behind Lindsey” score for each race. For each racer, we award gold, bronze and silver medals based upon your “seconds behind Lindsey.” All of our leader boards are based upon your “seconds behind Lindsey,” which serves as comparable comparison for all of our guests.

How can i qualify for the Lindsey Vonn Race Series?
To qualify for the Lindsey Vonn Race Series you must race at least ten times during the 2012/2013 season. For everyone who qualifies we will look at their 10 best races during the season. For each race we will calculate a score based upon their “seconds behind Lindsey.” The score will be set to 200 points if the racer ties Lindsey’s time for the course and will go down from there as their seconds behind Lindsey increases. The most a racer could earn for the 10-race Lindsey Vonn Race Series is 2,000 points.
